Early days but a good first impression. ----- ### Review #25: 3 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Candidate * From: Cloud Engineer, Asset Management in Newcastle * Date: 2026-08-05 Got me an interview quickly but feedback afterwards was a bit slow and I had to chase. Ryan was pleasant to deal with, just could have communicated timelines better. ----- ### Review #24: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: Engineering Manager, Payments in Greater London * Date: 2026-08-01 Responsive and easy to brief. Understood exactly what we needed for the payments team. ----- ### Review #23: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: VP Engineering, Wealth Management in Greater London * Date: 2026-07-28 We've used Ryan exclusively for our engineering hires this year. Consistent quality and he knows our business well enough now that briefs take five minutes. ----- ### Review #22: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: Head of Talent, Insurance in Greater Manchester * Date: 2026-07-20 Filled two roles for us in a month, both strong hires.

No time wasted on irrelevant CVs. ----- ### Review #20: 4 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: CTO, Fintech in Leeds * Date: 2026-07-05 Solid shortlist for a senior hire, all technically strong. One or two weren't quite right on culture fit but that's on us for the brief. ----- ### Review #19: 4 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: MD, Engineering in Bristol County * Date: 2026-06-24 ----- ### Review #18: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Candidate * From: Data Engineer, Insurance in Sheffield * Date: 2026-06-20 Ryan reached out with a role that actually matched my experience, not a generic pitch. He walked me through the company and what they were looking for before submitting my CV, so I knew what I was going into. Made the whole process feel a lot less like a numbers game. ----- ### Review #17: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Candidate * From: Site Reliability Engineer, Payments in Leeds * Date: 2026-06-15 Ryan knew the payments space well enough to talk specifics rather than buzzwords. Process was quick, offer came through within two weeks of my first interview, and he checked in after I started to make sure everything was as expected. ----- ### Review #16: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Candidate * From: Backend Developer, Fintech in Leeds * Date: 2026-06-02 Ryan placed me in a role that ticked every box I'd mentioned in our first call, not just the ones that were easy to fill. He kept me updated at every stage and never went quiet, which after some bad experiences with other recruiters was genuinely refreshing. Three months in and the role is exactly as described.

He was upfront about salary expectations from the start, prepped me properly for two rounds of interviews, and negotiated a better offer than I expected. Six weeks into the new role and it's a genuinely good fit. ----- ### Review #12: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Candidate * From: James, Finance Director, Accounting & Finance in London * Date: 2026-03-25 ----- ### Review #11: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: MD, Hospitality & Tourism in Manchester * Date: 2026-02-04 Great ----- ### Review #10: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Candidate * From: Abi, Regional Manager, Hospitality & Tourism in Manchester * Date: 2026-01-28 ----- ### Review #9: 5 out of 5 stars * Relationship: Client * From: Software Engineering Manager, Legal in Leeds * Date: 2025-11-05 Brilliant service.
